License to Emoji

It's the natural evolution of the vanity license plate: emoji.

As of March 1, drivers in Queensland, Australia will be able to include one of five emoji in their license plates: laughing out loud, winking face, sunglasses, heart eyes, and the classic smiley face.

"For quite some time we’ve seen that you can support your favourite team or your favourite town with a symbol on your number plate," Royal Automobile Club of Queensland spokeswoman Rebecca Michael told 7News Brisbane. "And using an emoji is no different."

Drivers will like need to pay a fee somewhere between $160 to $500 in Australian dollars to get the new emoji, according to 7News.

"How do you write down the emoji in your number plate after an accident?" Queensland Law Society president Bill Potts asked the Brisbane Times.
